6 HOBART HIGH SCHOOL
Miss H. E. Rollins 45 years ago. This school was held in the building now owned by Mrs. J. B. Borst.
Then a new building was erected in 1887 and in 1892 the institution was made a Union Free School. The Academic Department was admitted in 1893 to the University of the State of New York.
The rapid growth following these changes necessitated more room and in 1894 the building was remodeled, enlarged and fitted with modern improvements and in 1897 the Regents of the State of New York granted it the title of Hobart High School.
On account of the progress both in number of scholars and the quality of the work it had to do it was found necessary to construct a new building. In 1914, the old High School building was condemned by the State Department of Education and finally in the summer of 1921 a new building, modern in every way, was constructed at a cost of nearly $50,000. It contains a large auditorium, a spacious study hall for the academic department with large class recitation rooms. There are adequate rooms for the grade departments, together with a well equipped laboratory, library, principal's office and teachers' room. The auditorium is so arranged that it may also be used as a basket ball court and gymnasium.
During the past years the school has been making rapid progress along substantial lines. The policy of higher education has always been fostered by the people of Hobart. The students who have gone forth from the halls of Hobart High School we find are fulfilling successful lives in the various provessions and our graduates are scattered throughout our state as well as in many states in the Union. Hobart graduates make good.
